Catalyst Power's Solutions
Tailored Energy Strategies - Commercial Electricity & Gas
Catalyst Power provides customized electricity and gas solutions that are created especially for commercial and industrial businesses needing more control over energy consumption. By breaking away from outdated energy procurement, Catalyst Power examines the distinct energy profile of each customer to provide the most efficient, economical solution. The business streamlines the onboarding process with a secure, entirely online interface that assesses energy consumption based on real-time meter data or estimated input, allowing easy switching between providers without interruption.
What distinguishes Catalyst Power is its customer-centric strategy. From precise hourly metering to customized supply opportunities, companies are able to select what best suits their operating requirements. Aside from base energy supply plans, Catalyst Power offers value-added services like community solar membership, rooftop lease programs within its Connected Microgrid® model, and EV charging solutions. With transparency, flexibility, and innovation at its core, Catalyst Power enables companies to make more intelligent, more sustainable energy choices that drive long-term savings and performance.
Sustainable Energy Solutions - Cogeneration
Catalyst Power is revolutionizing the way companies use energy by providing sophisticated cogeneration solutions, or combined heat and power (CHP) systems. These systems generate electricity and usable heat simultaneously from one source of energy—significantly increasing energy efficiency while lowering costs and environmental footprints. Suitable for hospitals, universities, manufacturing campuses, and other high-energy buildings, cogeneration systems can be as efficient as 65–75%, well above conventional power generation.
What is so alluring about Catalyst Power's product is its zero-upfront-cost model. The company purchases and maintains the cogeneration unit, removing barriers such as equipment and engineering costs for customers. This is simple for companies to enjoy cost-saving, eco-friendly technology without having to invest capital.
In addition to efficiency, Catalyst Power's cogeneration systems save on carbon emissions and long-term operating costs. For businesses looking for a smart, sustainable way to meet power and heating demands, Catalyst Power offers a turnkey, fully managed solution—providing reliable performance, environmental benefits, and actual financial return.
Connected Microgrid®
Catalyst Power's Connected Microgrid® Solution provides an economical, high-impact means for businesses to reduce their energy bills while enhancing resilience and sustainability. With Catalyst Power, you have solar panels—along with optional battery energy storage—installed on your premises at no cost. This allows companies to produce clean, dependable energy locally. You enjoy lower utility bills, backup power in case of outages, and a long-term fixed-rate energy plan with no initial capital expenditure.
The process is simple: Catalyst Power develops, owns, and manages the system for you through a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Companies get access to the Microgrid Customer Rate, securing stable savings without the risk of traditional utility markets.
No matter your goal—energy cost reliability, enhanced reliability, or environmental stewardship—the Connected Microgrid® meets it. And if it's not the best solution, Catalyst Power has other customized alternatives—such as rooftop leases, community solar, and EV charging—to suit your specific energy requirements.
